I've always wanted to perfect this part of my fishing game. Once it gets past 10 ft I always struggle. I have so many DTs from shallow to deep. One of my favorite pros teaching me something I want to learn. Great video!
It is intimidating, but well worth it to learn. The DT series is the way to go!
@@MassReelFishing my buddy in the Army introduced me to them and I haven't looked back since. Rapala is definitely my confidence bait, specifically the DT. And I've always wanted to perfect it. Seeing a school and not being able to fire them up is very frustrating. Especially during tournaments in the heat of summer.
One of the most frustrating ever! You’ll never be able to always fire them up
@@paulhorton7792 It takes a lot of time and practice to consistently be able to mark a school/structure and set up to fish it properly. Some days I feel like I have it figured out. Then the next day I feel completely lost. It really shows you how good guys like Wheeler really are.
@@MassReelFishing it's crazy how consistent they are. Especially when fishing pressured waters. I haven't been fishing my whole life. Probably have about 6 or 7 years of total fishing experience. Never went as a kid as I bounced around the foster care system. But after a tour in Afghanistan my buddy saw me struggling and introduced me. I mean this whole heartily, fishing saved my life. It's my way of decompressing. Even if I'm fishing a local tournament I just love being on the water. I can feel my mind relaxing. Guys like Mr Wheeler here just make it easier for me to try and perfect the thing I love the most. And just in general the fishing community all the way up to the superstars like Mr Wheeler just seem to be nice guys. I remember going back to Fort Drum and passing Oneida Lake and seeing a BassMaster going on and I stopped and met people like KVD, Skeet Reese and a few others and just how down to earth they were shocked me.
Man I love the good in depth stuff!
Love the content you put out. I am a retired Veteran and I have been fishing since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I fish Oklahoma and Texas 99% of the time and I love that I can still learn from guys like obviously You, Monroe, B-Lat, Scott Martin and Connell. Thanks for helping educate anglers of all ages and I look forward learning from you guys as the years go on. In my opinion you guys are at the same level if not even better than my old favorites that I grew up watching like Roland, Dance, Grigsby and Parker. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and not forgetting about us regular guys. It is very appreciated.
Awesome video!
I struggle with crankbait fishing altogether but really struggle with deep diving crankbaits can’t ever seam to make it work this video is definitely going to help with that. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I always learn something.
Really appreciate the tips like boat position, different crank baits for brush, downsizing hooks for brush. That stuff matters.
Thanks for the info. I’ve lost confidence in cranking last few years hopefully I can use this tip to help me get back my mojo.
Thank you for posting this, having grown up fishing shallow rivers, this is the weakest part of my fishing game
Of course! Hope it helps a little
Jacob Ding thank you on these videos we all learn so much I love em 🇨🇦👍 thx Phil
Of course man! Good luck out there
@@WheelerFishing fishing smalllies on lake of bays northern Ontario on vacation I will put these to good use
Great info on crankbait fishing. I've been struggling with using a deep-diving crankbait, and hopefully, with the information you shared with us on this topic, I'll be able to put it into practicum. Your instruction is very informative. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks!
In addition to the longer rods for casting deep cranks, it is important to pick a proper reel. If you are going to have dedicated deep crank set ups select a casting reel with a large line capacity. You want a reel for deep cranking that holds 160 yards of 12 lb. test (.10 to .013 diameter line ) This type reel will shine for casting distance. Rob
Great info. Love watching your videos. Always a lot of practical information.
This is one of the best vids you've done, thank you! Would love to see more like this. Maybe some hair jigs, structure, jerkbaits, etc.
You’re so thorough and explicative it makes me feel dumb. I’m learning, but you make me realize how little I actually know.
Thanks for taking the time to share all this info great video
I like these type of videos it gives me alot more knowledge on different things
Always great videos Very informative I do like crank bait fishing have to try deep divers keep up the good work
Thanks it helped a lot.
Thanks Jacob for all of tips enjoy the channel. I am getting ready to head to Missouri at the end of September to Lake of ozarks for a bass tournament.
Hey Jacob, thanks for taking the time and putting out videos like these. It really means a lot to anglers such as myself who are sponges when it comes to learning anything I can do to put more/bigger fish in my boat. I know you grew up in Indiana and I was wondering if you’ve ever fished Brookville lake? I’ve fished it quite a few times and have always struggled on these types of deep water fisheries. Of course there is structure and cover in the coves, but these fish are super pressured in those areas. Was wondering if you could narrow down crank bait fishing a little more or give any other tips for these specific types of lakes. If not in this comment thread, would love too see more content of you fishing some of these Ohio/Indiana fisheries.
Hey Gregory, thank you for the comment. I have fished Brookville lake but not for a few years. Typically if I were going to deep crank on that lake in would be in the upper half were the largemouth population was little stronger. Fishing points and deeper drops is where I would look first but then I would start to look for isolated structurer like a stump, a brush pile or a rock pile. The key with this is isolated, I’m not going to fish a Forrest of stumps I want the cover to be unique and irregular to that area to draw a few fish to use it.
I love your master class, great information and a lot to unpack.
Great information and great video 📹 Thank you for sharing 👍
i love crankbait fishing when the conditions is right
Absolutely dig these informative videos like this. I think a series of different baits would be awesome! I learned a lot from this one and have learned a lot from DC on jerkbaits, I smashed smallies this past spring here in Kansas with his tips! Thanks for the knowledge! 🛎
Awesome info. I like throwing the dt series on the river. Just never thought about the floating up and not. But it does matter. Lol. I use my lure retriever less. Now. Lol 😂😂
Definitely gave me a new prospect on CrankBaits
Great video. Question 1 if there's a little piece of crap on hook do you remove it. And 2 how much time do you give a color before changing it or do you move on. Knowing there's fish there. Thanks
Just asking what's a good all-around cranking setup that I could use for lipless and square bills and sometimes maybe a little deep diving
just grabbed some merch! hats look 🔥 and i love polyester/cotton shirts
Thank you for the support! It really does me a lot to us
These teaching videos are excellent - thank you. What was the actual treble you were using that had the one hook that was slightly bigger? Do you alternate the direction of that one slightly bigger hook - I noticed this on several of the baits you showed - and is there a reason when you select this type or style of treble? Thank you!!!!
Excellent. Thanks.
Thank you for Video, I am a Fly Fishing Guide , and I am now working on my Bass Fishing Skills use Bait casters , and Spinning Rods, so all this is very new to me ... Question for you , do you Ty directly to your Crankbaits or do you use a Swivel ?
Thanks
Thanks for sharing.
I've never dedicated myself to strictly fish with a crank bait and get good But I watched this video yesterday went and bought a DT8 and a DT10. I fished for 30 minutes after dark and caught 16 fish plus the biggest bass of my life. You and Connell are the Goats and will be my generations Vandam, Hank Parker, Bill Dance etc..
That’s wild you mentioned about fish pinning bait to the bottom because the one I caught deep today had the hooks in his face and I thought I happened to snag him. Guess not.
I need to find out where you get your DT cranks baits lol . I love them but everyone I get I have to tune a little the last 8 ft diver I got it was going to the left BAD straight out of the pack. I also got one that sinks and haven’t had one so that before
What is a good rod and reel setup
For cranking square bills worthless and occasionally some deep
Hi beautiful soul, thank you for your wisdom 🙏❤🌊
Is a crank still good on mud bottoms with not a lot of hard structure? More veggitation on shore. Would lipless be a better option?
Lipless would probably do better. This was more so for out deeper 8-20ft
Great Video. What do you do about fishing around 80 ft deep. The lake I sometimes fish is the deepest lake in Georgia, Carters Lake and I know there is a stopping point at 75 ft or so. But what do you do or am I just lacking fishing knowledge ? By the way Carters Lake 495> ft deep.
Hey Jacob, I always struggle every time I put fluro on my bait casters (back lashing non stop) and always end up peeling it off and going back to a braided line… is there a trick or something I’m missing when it comes to fluro? A video on this would be awesome
Turn the line on its side so that it’s reeling onto the reel and wrapping the same way it was on the spool. If it’s opposite of that it will want to jump off
Funny. I just bought me a dt 10 baby bass crankbait the other day and I live in Indiana
Putting Out THE JUICE 🧃
what if you're throwing crankbaits on 7.5:1 or higher gear ratio? should i be reeling slower to match a 5.8:1-6.8:1? could you touch on that a little bit
Very help full vedio
Thanks J Dub
Favorite lense color on your new Wiley x shades?
OK i have been following you for some time. I live in south east Missouri. is there any way i can get a DING hat signed by you, Dustin and mark? Your tour never comes into my neck of the wood's?
They went to lake of the ozarks last year
I really want to fish with you we could meet in Kentucky
Mostly fishing pond's small lakes bank fishing
So inspiring. I wish I saw this a year ago 😢
Giving that Juice... HaHa...😆#DING
What are the manufacture of you blue and white poles
You should send me one. I fishing in MFL September Grand Lake and Lake of the Ozark’s. Then I give a review on you channel and send your rod back to you. God Bless,

Duckett fishing
How about 6 custom wheeler colors in smallmouth/largemouth dts
any tips for a teen angler to make it to the pros?
Keep your head down and focus on the actual fishing and time on the water
@@WheelerFishing thank you for the advice!
Rapala has the ShadRap which dives deep then floats back up as well.... just saying.
If a bass gets wrapped up in that fish attractor , which here they are cedar trees , Its a booger to get them out .
that random H in the top left at 4:24 lol
Honest question here..
I see pro videos just squeezing baits and throwing them around etc etc and never see you get hooked. Meanwhile I use fingertips and try everything I can and still wind up getting stuck every once in awhile.
I'd have 2 sets of hooks in my hand if I grabbed em and shook like that!
One of the major pice of equipment you have to have is live scope or you will never be able to fish like jacob
Jacob are you saying roaming schools are schools over brush piles that’s sort of stuff structure?
Fish around structure
I challenge anyone watching this to try 20# braid to #12 leader flouro it will change your life with deep cranks!
Sorry for the misspelling and the last message
I love the action of the DT series but I can't get one to last more than 30 casts before it breaks. Junk!
My off shore game sucks. Thats the only way to say it.
They should have a year when no one can use electronics on the tour.
Why not go higher speed like 7.5:1 or 8 :1 why 6:1 !!!!!!!! I say this because you almost always say burn it in to boat it just looks like a lot of work with slow speed. I don’t understand why 6:1 or lower
The lower the gear ratio the more power the reel has which means the less resistance on the reel handle you will have when cranking all day. I use a 5.4.1 yes you have to reel fast but it’s effortless a high gear ratio will wear you out if you are cranking all day. Set up an 8 and a 6 gear ratio rod and you will see why he chooses a 6.8.1. Hope this helps
^^ pretty darn accurate
Drone is not necessary and that hum is really annoying.
Who is this chump? Is he even good at fishing?
Never even caught a fish before 🤥
Thanks!
